PALO ALTO, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Symphony
Teleca Corporation, the services organization dedicated exclusively
to helping clients manage the global convergence of software, the cloud
and connected devices today announced a strategic software development
partnership with Yota Devices for its new YotaPhone, the first phone to
integrate a full-color liquid crystal display (LCD) on one side with an
electronic paper display (EPD) on the other side. Through this
partnership, Symphony Teleca will provide Android (News - Alert) platform expertise to
improve power management and to optimize and enhance the overall product
software architecture, especially for EPD technology integration.

The two displays, which have different functions and different purposes,
are linked together to open a new world of unlimited user experiences.
Users will be able to read long news articles and social networking
updates and display photos, stock quotes, and boarding passes on the EPD
without draining the phone's battery or having to constantly "wake up"
their smartphones. Images on the EPD can be displayed even if the
battery is empty.

"YotaPhone will change the way users interact and manage information
with their phones, and we need a partner who truly understands the
complexities of mobile software development," said Vlad Martynov, CEO,
Yota Devices. "YotaPhone presents a number of new engineering challenges
specific to multi-screen operation and optimization, including power
management. After an extensive analysis, we determined that Symphony
Teleca is the est software development partner based on its global
leadership in Android and ability to ideate and execute quickly and
inventively."

"Today if you want to check your email, calendar or social media page,
you have to pick up your smartphone, turn it on, open the application
and only then can you receive the information. With YotaPhone, this
information will appear on the EPD effortlessly, continuously and
updated in real time," said Martynov, in a prior statement.

"We are seeing a world of innovative connected experiences come to
market across a number of industries today including retail, automotive,
healthcare and telecom, and this is an outstanding example of ingenuity
being applied to a very exciting and competitive smartphone space," said
Sanjay Dhawan, President and CEO, Symphony Teleca. "We are very proud to
